Vision for TIM2
Successful pursuit of America's national security goals through ever improving cooperation
and collaboration across the full spectrum of service, joint, interagency, intergovernmental,
and multinational operations through dynamic, capabilities-based training for the
Department of Defense.
TIM2 Phases
• Build Task Force and determine requirements (capabilities and tasks)
for communication, cooperation, coordination, collaboration, and interoperability
among interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational partners.
• Determine education and training requirements to prepare individuals
and organizations to accomplish these tasks.
• Conduct individual education across entire career continuum to prepare
and maintain individual abilities at all levels.
• Conduct training and exercises to prepare and maintain organization
and staff capabilities to conduct joint operations.
• Continue to improve and prepare for future challenges through experimentation
and expanded collaboration.
TIM2 Program and Your Role
Training Transformation is a multi-year effort. The TIM2 Task Force convened in
May 2004 at the National Defense University and again in February 2005. Interagency,
Intergovernmental, Multi-national, Technical, and Integration Working Groups have
been established. Advisory Steering Groups (GS-15/O-6 level) and Executive Steering
Groups (GO/FO/SES, and equivalent level) have been formed.
The Task Force's working groups are collecting information on the capabilities and
tasks, roles, and responsibilities of the many and diverse members of the greater
interagency community and how the U.S. Armed Forces should be educated and trained
to be prepared to conduct Joint operations with these partners to accomplish interagency,
intergovernmental, and multinational missions.
The ongoing efforts are exploring at what point, with whom, and how these agency
specifics are coordinated; how cooperation is gained and maintained; and where gaps
need to be filled and seams addressed so that redundancies can be minimized and
capabilities can be leveraged. The education and training requirements to prepare
members of the Department of Defense (military and civilian, active, reserve, and
National Guard) to conduct Joint operations with interagency community partners
are being developed.
Other initiatives include developing policy and guidance for interagency operations;
assessing doctrine and procedures and then developing or expanding these as necessary;
and improving the technical aspects of the Joint environment through systems connectivity,
information and intelligence sharing, and the distribution of online courseware
to non-DoD partners.
TIM2 outcomes will provide the education, training, exercises,
and experimentation to prepare individuals, units, and staffs to conduct Joint operations
with interagency community partners - foreign and domestic.
"The focus of Training Transformation is to better enable joint operations in the
future, where "joint" has a broader context than the traditional military definition
of the term.
Joint training must be able to support a broad range of roles and responsibilities
in military, multinational, interagency, and intergovernmental contexts, and the
Department of Defense must provide such training to be truly flexible and operationally
effective. Training readiness will be assessed and reported, not only in the traditional
joint context, but also in view of this broader range of "joint" operations."
